Chapter 120: Piper: Im With You
My heart thumped hard and unrelenting against my ribs as I stared into Jax's handsome face. I still couldn't believe he was here. How many times had I dreamed of something like this happening? Of him showing up and saving me from a fate worse than death? But having my very dream come true meant certain death for him. How could I allow that?
I shifted on my feet, my high heels pinching my toes. If I said I was with him, he'd take that as a win, and that would only embolden him. He had no idea how formidable an opponent King Draven was, or how powerful the royal covens were when united. Then again, if Isach and the Zoya Coven were on Jax's side, I supposed all six of the royal covens weren't truly united after all.
"Piper, honey, we're running out of time." He had an urgency to his voice that only served to terrify me. "I need to know what you want me to do here." His gaze was desperate and imploring.
